I am back from Germany ! In Magdeburg, the Eurodance Encyclopaedia team met DJ Bobo in person ! The concert was a great moment, with beautiful costumes and very nice choreographies. We were impressed by DJ Bobo's capacities to set the audience on fire ! From our little interview with DJ Bobo and his crew, we got the following informations : Chihuahua has been selected as summer hit" by the French channel TF1. Which means daily airplay during the whole summertime ! He also recorded a broadcast for the French M6 channel called "Absolument Eté", which will be seen on TV next July. DJ Bobo seemed very happy of his comeback in France, where Chihuahua just reached #4 (and the webmaster of DJ Bobo France fanclub just told me he heard that a French edition of his album was planned)... There could also be a special DJ Bobo concert in Paris ! Nancy (who took part to the project 3-0 Matic as vocalist) revealed that the group effectively recorded an album but it was never released.
